can acolohic beverages be imported by any U.S. citizen?

The short answer is "no".Here's your long answer.1. You must be of legal drinking age. Even when ordering alcohol online, the delivery people will require a photo identification when bringing it to you.2. If you live in a state where the liquor control board controls EVERYTHING, you'd have to seek out a specialty shop or something like that. The state will want it's cut of the taxes, and the stores will make a profit on what you want to order.3. Some alcohol is illegal in the U.S., however, they are starting to lift the ban on some alcohols.So... there ya go. The short and long answer. lol

I used to get a fifth of Jose Quervo from Tijuana to San Diego but only one bottle at a time.

When you re-enter the U.S., you are allowed to bring up to a gallon of liquor with you, duty-free. Any more, and you have to pay the duty on it. You do have to be of age and the state may want its share of revenue.

Banh Cuon Trang Bang (Rice Cakes)
Trang Bang, located 40 km from Ho Chi Minh City, is where one can find the best rice paper and rice cakes.
Both can be found everywhere, but nowhere are they better than in Trang Bang where they are made from local rice. The rice flour is roasted for four or five hours and made into thick cakes. Once the cakes are dried, they are placed into nylon bags.
These cakes can be eaten with shrimp, meat, salad, and coriander. During Tet, the cakes are served with roasted meat, eggs, and sour mustard.
